In this episode, Dr. Morgan Taylor is joined by Director of Nursing Rachel Taylor to break down one of the most misunderstood parts of NCLEX prep: computer adaptive testing (CAT).
If CAT exams feel confusing, unpredictable, or downright intimidating—you’re not alone. This episode walks you through exactly how CAT works, how to approach it, and how to train for it so nothing about test day feels unfamiliar.
Key mindset shift: The NCLEX is not trying to trick you—it’s trying to find your consistent level of competence. Your job is not to analyze the algorithm. Your job is to show up for each question and make the safest, best decision you can.
If you want to walk into test day thinking, “this feels just like my practice exams,” this episode gives you the exact framework to get there.
